    Still no official word on the reason why he was carted off the field during the scrimmage this week.

    Some rumors that it was just heat related and I know he has had issues with blood pressure so maybe that had something to do with it.

    Downs is the type who goes all out every minute and every play. Never backs down so I could understand if he overexerted himself.

    If anyone hears different, let us know.

    I've heard this as well. I guess since he was carted off, it was assumed he had a significant leg injury. Hope it's minor, whatever it is..............

    We need him on the interior DL this season. I really hope this isn't serious.

    From everything I hear and read, kid has a Dorsey-sized heart for football. I hope he can stay healthy - I think he's going to be someone offenses will have to plan around in the next couple of years.

    Some are saying it is a concussion...but I don't know who to believe. Just glad it apparently isn't anything that would jeopardize his season.

    Don't think it was concussion but hearing that it was related to heat exhaustion.

    Word out of practice was that it was a serious concussion and his family may want him to sit this season out.
